Welcome to Mrs Bloomer's Primary 7 Class!

• Mathematics & Numeracy – In this half term we will be studying:

  Number

  · Use negative numbers in context, and calculate intervals across zero

  · Perform mental calculations, including with mixed operations and large numbers

  · Understand the order of operations and use the BODMAS rule to carry out calculations involving the four operations and brackets

  · Practise addition and subtraction for larger numbers, including both mental and written methods

  · Make a reasonable estimate of the answer to a calculation and use this to check the answer

  · Use a written method to calculate multiplication of HTO × TO

  · Use mental methods to multiply a number with up to two decimal places by a one-digit whole number, e.g. 0·4 × 2 and 0·06 × 6

  · Multiply one- or two-digit numbers with up to two decimal places by a one-digit whole number using a written method, e.g. 7·56 × 3 and 35·4 × 5

  · Recognise common factors and common multiples

  · Identify and create equivalent fractions

  · Add and subtract fractions with different denominators and mixed numbers

  · Divide proper fractions by whole numbers

  · Multiply simple pairs of proper fractions Simplify fractions by cancelling common factors

  Measures

  · Convert from one unit of mass to another, using decimal notation up to three decimal places where appropriate

  · Calculate and convert between grams and kilograms to solve problems involving mass

  Shape & Space

  · Draw 2-D shapes using given dimensions and angles

  · Use measuring tools and conventional markings and labels for lines and angles

  · Use properties and sizes to compare and classify geometric shapes

  · Find unknown angles in triangles, quadrilaterals and regular polygons

  · Identify and name angles where they are vertically opposite

  · Identify and name angles where they meet at a point, are on a straight line, or are vertically opposite

  · Find missing angles expressing relationships algebraically, e.g. a = 180 – (b + c)
